I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a thank me for my participation.
I love coffee year round. But as soon as the weather starts to turn cooler and the holidays come around coffee takes on a whole new meaning. Some of my favorite holidays memories all incorporate the same things good friends, good conversation and good coffee. This year I will be enjoying a variety of coffee flavors and hot drinks with the new NESCAFE Dolce Gusto GENIO Coffee machine.
Before the holidays hit I wanted to test out some of the newest NESCAFE flavors with some of my family members. We had a variety of drinks to choose from including Latte Macchiato, Skinny Latte Macchiato, Chia Tea Latte and for the kiddo’s Chococino. At first glance the GENIO is sleek and small. Because of it’s size it doesn’t take up much counter space at all, which is a big plus for us people who have limited counter space.
NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is the only machine that truly delivers delicious, coffee house quality creations every time with patented smart capsule technology delivering up to 15 bars of professional pressure and espresso technology.
Using the GENIO is super simple. You just fill the resoviour in the back with water, pop in your favorite NESCAFE Dolce Gusta drink capsules and your about 30 seconds away from enjoying a delicious drink. There are no complicated buttons or hoops that you have to jump through in order to make your drink. The GENIO is very user friendly! One of the functions that I love the most about this coffee maker is the dial on the top that you can adjust to make your coffee or drink stronger or a weaker depending on your tastes.
The Dolce Gusto Genio isn’t your normal one cup brewing machine. It makes high quality drinks that you would expect to pay $6 or more at a coffee house. I am the type of person who likes my coffee to have flavor so I really enjoyed the Latte Macchiato it just the right amount of sweetness. Out of all of the flavors I tried I have to admit that the Chococino was my favorite. It was rich, sweet and creamy and quick.
Every year I try and experiment with my hot cocoa and try and make it even taster. This year the kids and I decided to mix two of our families favorite flavors together for the perfect holiday treat.
Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate:
1 cup (7.1 oz) of Nescafe Chocino
1 Tablespoon of Creamy Peanut Butter
1/4 tsp of vanilla
Whipped Cream
Make a cup of Chocino coffee using your Nescafe Dolce Gusto GENIO. Add in 1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter and 1/4 tsp of vanilla. Stir Well. Top with Whipped Cream. Not only is this a great treat for kids but adults will love it too.
